continue posting :)

landfall seems to be the same about 1/2 way between corpus and matagorda, would need a higher resolution to say for sure, certainly not a big swing either way, but its the 18Z run

Where is landfall on the new GFS? Looks similar to the last run to me, but its such low res I can't tell.

I am not seeing much difference, looks slightly north of Matagorda Bay to me...

Hey dwg wasn't the GFS the furthest south on it's previous run?

Wonder what it's seeing?

They are similar, but 18z looks *slightly* north, definitely not further south.

Has anyone looked at some of the local Texas forecasts? They are forecasting winds sustained over TS force with gusts to 50-60mph+ all the way to the TX/OK border! Crazy!

Latest GFS trough isn't there in time. Track should solidify like NHC did with Gus. Houston could be playing it tight and dodging a bullet at the last second.

If it speeds up a little it will be further south. I supect that is a little slow of a run by a few hours, my opinion.

GFS 18z looks to me like its in a similar position as it was before.

The other thing is it still has well over 2 days to strengthen in the gulf, never a good thing even with a messy inner core.

If gfdl will come back in the consensous at next run, that would be nice... 8-)

one hour and 20 minutes until the most anticipated model release in the history of hurricanes!

Naah, but it will be interesting.

So you live by the GFS?

Trof is there in plenty of time. FYI...NHC wanted the track more east but didn't want to take a big jump just yet.

Where they hinted at putting it would give the HOU area the worst wacking since Carla

Dodging a bullet? You were saying?

Come on...

Afraid the bullet has found its mark.

We'll see at 11. You are arguing with GFS not me. My position is whether GFDL is straying like it did west of Florida already or whether it is dead accurate early on as it has been with trends. GFDL is obviously less accurate when not under a strong ridge. My last word was start worrying if GFDL goes even more east.

So AFM, time to earn more than your government salary on Ike. Lots of noise on this board but little knowledge most times. What are your thoughts on strength and landfall for Ike? What models or conditions should we be looking at for any tweaks to the forecast. 12z GFDL through the Galveston area -probably need a couple of more runs to nail this down but I find the GFDL has been pretty accurate. within 72 hrs

Hey all, so the GFDL has Ike coming into Galveston as a category 4 storm... The next 2 model runs do you think the other models such as the UKMET will follow suit with the GFDL? Or do you think the GFDL will nudge down a bit?

Thoughts...
